	Story Behind the Song Everyone we know, ourselves included, have an idea of who it is that we should be. But, to stop and ask God exactly who is that we should be and to make us into the people we are meant to be, that is the daily challenge. To hear His voice above all other voice's After writing this song, I read Wild At Heart by John Eldredge, which really spoke to that place. This song is a summation of the journey i've been on for the last couple of years. In fact, essentially this entire record is about the lessons the Lord has been teaching me along this journey. The birth of my daughter is what kick started this prayer-that God would make me the man he has created me to be. Lyrics The Man You Want Me To Be Written by Phil Joel I played the fool so long Thought I was so strong All the while You knew it wasn't true Rerunning in my mind Memories of another time When all I ever lived for Was You Chorus: Jesus Make me the man You want me to be Jesus Make me the man You want me to be I've been listening all my life Words are spoken all the time I have heard the liars and the true Voices twisting in the air Sweetly sounding so unclear But nothing can replace a word From You A child is but for so long Turn around those days are gone Nothing can replace the years of youth I have swallowed lies That tasted true The plans I thought were sent from You When all You wanted was for me To be still The burning in the heart Of man's deepest desire Is rising like a flame The burning in the heart Of our deepest desire Rising like a flame Burning higher and higher Burning in the heart Of our deepest desire Is to know You ©2002 Ariose Music/ Near Bliss Music (ASCAP) (All rights administered by EMI Christian Music Publishing) All Rights Reserved.
